Music by: Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, Nick Menza
Theme
A re-recording of a song originally written by the classic *'Rust in Peace'* lineup (Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman, Menza) but never officially released until this album. Like track 4, the theme is the imminent danger of the **'New World Order'**, asserting that a global power structure is seizing control, revoking freedoms, and using fear and misinformation ('They rewrite history, they lie on the news') to ensure submission.
Lyrics
Where had the **apostles gone**?
Joining hands with **wicked ones**
**Revelation has come to pass**
**New World Order** will hold the **mass**
A **book written by the man**
Used to **control and command**
**All rights will be denied**
Without the **mark you shall die**
No confession, **all is known**
**New World Order**, you shall be shown
**Monitoring all wages**
**New World Order comes in stages**
**Currency is obsolete**
Feel the **agony of defeat**
**Symbol of society today**
A **must have or you shall pay**
As human flesh leads the mind,
Just a **pawn**, the **last martyr dies**
